Chapter 1929 How come one is injured and the other is missing?
Zhang Ran patted her head, but looked at the woman who had been eating and had now stood up to explain, "We heard that your parents are missing. We were worried that it wouldn't be safe for you kids to be home at night, so we thought we'd come and stay with you for the night."
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang." Liu Ni was very touched. Holding Zhang Ran's hand with her left hand and Fu Qin's hand with her right, she introduced them to the woman: "Sister, these are the new Teacher Zhang and Teacher Fu."
"Teacher, please have a seat." Da Ni quickly brought chairs for the two of them.
When Shi Lao Er and his wife went to town, they made a phone call to tell Da Ni to come home, saying that Er Ni had died.
Da Ni married and moved to another province, far from home. After arguing with her husband, she risked divorce to rush back. She thought she could see Er Ni off one last time, but when she got home, she found out that her parents had sold Er Ni's body to someone else for a ghost marriage, and that her parents had disappeared.
However, according to the villagers, her mother has been found and taken to the hospital, but her father has not been found.
She didn't go to the hospital. There were no adults at home, and it wasn't safe for the children to be home alone at night.
Liu Ni and the others told her about everything that had happened recently, so she naturally knew that the new volunteer teacher was kind-hearted and generous.
"Teacher Zhang, I'm so sorry about what happened to Si Ni." Da Ni looked at Zhang Ran apologetically.
In the past few months, Zhang Ran's hair has grown quite a bit, and her facial features look much softer.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "That's all in the past."
Seeing that Zhang Ran didn't hold it against her at all, Da Ni felt even more embarrassed and invited them to have dinner together.
“We’ve already eaten, you guys eat,” Fu Qin quickly explained.
Zhang Ran said to Liu Ni, "Since your eldest sister is home, let's go back to school."
Liu Ni suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, "Teacher Zhang, I'm scared, can you stay with me tonight?"
Da Ni quickly chimed in, "It's already dark outside, and it's not convenient for you to go back to school. Why don't you stay here tonight? I'll go and tidy up your room." Before Zhang Ran and the others could refuse, she turned and went to her parents' room to change the bedding.
Unable to refuse their hospitality, Zhang Ran and her companions stayed, taking their suitcases into the room and placing them in a corner.
After Da Ni and the others finished eating, the village chief and his wife arrived.
With the adults away and only a few children at home, the village chief and his wife were worried that someone might sneak in at night to steal money, which would be bad for the children.
"Da Ni? When did you get back?" The village chief was very surprised to see Da Ni.
Da Ni explained, "I just got home this afternoon. I was thinking of seeing Er Ni off on her final journey..."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
The village chief sighed, "It's good you're back. Your mother is injured and hospitalized, and your father is missing." Suddenly, he noticed Zhang Ran and Fu Qin coming out of the room and greeted them in surprise, "Teacher Zhang? Teacher Fu?"
"We heard from the students that Liu Ni's parents had gone missing, and since there are only a few children in the family, we came here," Fu Qin quickly explained, afraid that the village chief would misunderstand.
The village chief's wife thanked them gratefully, saying, "Thank you so much, teachers." Her husband was worried about the children's safety at home and asked her to come and sleep with them for the night. She added that if she had known the teachers were coming, she wouldn't have come.
“Uncle.” Da Ni looked at the village chief and asked, “What exactly happened?” Although Liu Ni had told her everything, in her eyes Liu Ni was still a child and might not be able to explain some things clearly.
“Yes, Village Chief,” Zhang Ran echoed, also raising the same question: “Didn’t Liu Ni’s parents leave with Er Ni’s coffin? How come one is injured and the other is missing?”
